Wayland, in practice, couple too much the "compositor" with the driver stack, and the desktop/wm with the "compositor", and THEN the desktop/compositor/wm with applications (e.g. Firefox menus working or not depending on the desktop env in use)
Then end result is that it explodes your test matrix. I won't use it while it stays the case, because I don't have time to fight with basic graphic stuff being broken all the time, and it is ridiculous to expect things to be not broken if the test matrix stays like that.
Plus it is starting to be old yet still missing half of the features, be it existing X features (ex: ssh -X), basic desktop GUI needs (ex: whatever is needed to implement Wine), or modern must-have (ex: colorimetry) (at least if was the situation a few months ago, hopefully there have been some progress since)
